Lithium Mining Market News

  • In May 2022, in order to supply European electric vehicle (EV) and battery manufacturers with battery-grade lithium chemicals, lithium processing company Green Lithium reached an agreement with commodities trading company Trafigura to support the development of one of the first centralised commercial lithium refineries in Europe.
  • In May 2022, for lithium mining in Argentina, Gotion High-Tech signed an MOU. Gotion will be given exploration and mining rights to investigate a prospective lithium resource covering over 17,000 hectares from an Argentine state-owned firm.
  • In April 2020, a group of scientists from the University of Texas in Austin, Monash University in Australia, the University of Melbourne, and the CSIRO in Australia created a new filtration system to recover Li-ions from brine. Compared to the current extraction methods, this technology offers a substantially greater recovery rate. It shortens the extraction process's time from months to years to only a few hours.
  • In August 2020, researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) made economic lithium mining possible in Germany by employing a minimally invasive method to collect the metal from the deep waters in geothermal plants of the Upper Rhine Valley. No hazardous compounds are discharged because the thermal water is recycled underground after use, and geothermal electricity and heat.
